SPECIAL FOLDOUT SLEEVE
Release Date: 29th September 2017
French-Cuban twins Ibeyi are back with their second album Ash a record that tackles subjects as diverse as womanhood spirituality activism and racism all conveyed in Ibeyi’s own unique blend of modern pop hip-hop and electronic influenced music that incorporates the traditional sounds of Yorùbá. It is the follow-up to their 2015 critically acclaimed eponymous debut album that made Ibeyi stand out among the crowd. Ash was recorded in November 2016 in London with producer Richard Russell at his studio The Copper House. The album features twelve new tracks and includes appearances from Kamasi Washington Mala Rodriguez Chilly Gonzales Meshell Ndegeocello. The sisters have totally upped the anti with this one - making a hard-hitting record that is as powerful musically as it is politically - which is exactly what we need right now!
